Still no opt out – PCEHR
September 17, 2015
Despite promises of legislation
to enable an opt-out version of
the Personally Controlled eHealth
Record (PCEHR) System, the federal
government has given no sign of
a decision of trial sites, reports
PULSE+IT.
Released statistics show uploads
of electronic hospital discharge
summaries to the PCEHR have
swollen since January but uploads
of the shared health summary are
still minuscule by comparison.
Around 10% of Australians, or 2.4
million, have registered for a PCEHR
as of 28 Aug, while there are only
55,000 shared health summaries in
the system, said the report.
